Journal ArticleDOI

The virion glycoproteins of Ebola viruses are encoded in two reading frames and are expressed through transcriptional editing.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis indicates that EBO virus subtypes are genetically diverse and that the recent Ivory Coast isolate represents a new (fourth) subtype of EBO Virus, and is virtually identical to the virus that caused a similar epidemic in Yambuku, Zaire almost 20 years earlier.
Journal ArticleDOI

The synthesis of Sendai virus polypeptides in infected cells

TL;DR: The results of pulse and pulse-chase experiments suggest that large, polyprotein precursors are not involved in Sendai virus replication, and that polypeptides are synthesized from monocistronic messenger RNA species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polypeptides specified by the influenza virus genome: I. Evidence for eight distinct gene products specified by fowl plague virus

TL;DR: The structural polypeptides of fowl plague virus (influenza A) and those synthesized in fowl Plague virus-infected chick embryo fibroblasts have been analyzed by high resolution polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and shown to be distinct by tryptic peptide mapping.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ethidium bromide inhibits appearance of closed circular viral DNA and integration of virus-specific DNA in duck cells infected by avian sarcoma virus.

TL;DR: Ethidium bromide reduces the formation of superhelical viral DNA and concurrently blocks integration of the viral genome, which results in the inhibition of virus replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcription and replication of influenza virus RNA.

TL;DR: Analysis of A(−) cRNA and vRNA accumulations in infected cells showed that the A(+) c RNA synthesis precedes vRNA synthesis and net accumulation of A- cRNA ceased by 3 hr postinfection (pi), and significant amounts of vRNA in excess of input vRNA were detected by about 2 hr pi and continued to accumulate in both nucleus and cytoplasm at least up to 6 hr pi.
